Duxford Aerodrome was the home of Douglas Bader's Big Wing during that battle. Duxford airfield later became a fighter airfield for the United States Army Air Forces, it is now the Imperial War Museum Duxford.

Given the significance of the town there isn’t a huge range of accommodation in Duxford itself. Most visitors tend to stay in the nearby city of Cambridge. This is fine if you don’t mind the husstle and busstle of the busy tourist town.

If however you are just coming for a weekend trip to the museum you might want to escape all that and enjoy the tranquility and accessibilty of Duxford itself. If that is the case then the best known place to stay is the Duxford Lodge Hotel.
